  1. The pointy headstock is obviously a bit Marmite, but a Roscoe for £400?! Unreal!
  2. Is this gone? Might be around your way on Wednesday and could come take a look.
  3. If this is still about when I head up towards Birmingham at the end of the month I may be giving you a buzz.
  4. Jimmy is an awesome dude I've had the privilege of gigging with on many occasions. Deal with confidence!
  5. A little confused - is this bass gone? I'm very tempted... would just have to work out logistics
  6. This is the EXACT twin of my #1 bass. The only modification I have made is crafting a ramp between the two pickups. I absolutely love this thing. If I had cash, I'd actually buy it from you as a backup.
  7. I have small hands and play the six-string version of this. It takes a little while to get used to the width of the neck and spacing, but it does make sense after a while. If I haven't played it for some time, it takes me a gig or two before I'm completely comfortable with it again, but after that it's like butter.

It's the exact twin of my MkI TRB6 which I've owned for 15 years and is still my #1. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=146725"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=146725[/url]
  8. Ah, shame you're miles from London! That first one looks interesting
  9. Wow, I didn't realise Warwick made a singlecut
  10. Following this with some interest - I have my own DB but we have a couple of basses in the school where I teach, and the 3/4 could probably do with some work like this...
  11. I have the triangular top one and like it a lot. Stays put and stays open, and invaluable for orchestral rehearsals.
  12. What's the rating on the cab now with the new drivers? Looks interesting... I'm in SE3.
  13. Like this a lot - a little out of reach for me with Christmas coming up... but a 5 string Jazz is in my future.
  14. If you have ever thought about a TRB, a Mk I is the one you want. Love mine.
  15. [quote name='Ou7shined' post='1047724' date='Dec 4 2010, 08:04 PM']You sure? [/quote] I was going to say... sunburst finishes with a black patch over the arm curve tend to be plywood...
  16. Love my flametop OLP MM3... did the series/parallel mod and strung it EADGC. It gets taken out to gigs where I don't dare take my more expensive basses - and it does just fine! Whoever gets this will be surprised with how well they play.
  17. You may have better luck in the non For-Sale section.
  18. Ah - my blue TRB6 mk1 is still my main and favourite bass, after going through Conklin, MTD, Fender etc. Love these! If it was a little lower I'd even be tempted to pick this up to have a second one. Anyone thinking about this, these are WAY nicer than the Mk2s, and don't come up often. Grab it!
  19. These are pretty cool - I am trying desperately to get hold of the six-string version. Alan is a phenomenal player and an ultra-nice guy... he helped me loads with my playing years ago and I wasn't even one of his students! Johann
  20. It takes time to build a bass, and Vinny (like everyone else) has a finite amount of time. Everybody wants his product, and he can only produce a certain number a month. If you were in his shoes, and charging $2k would mean you have a 25 year waiting list, wouldn't you charge more? Of course you wouldn't... the same way you wouldn't take another job that has the same workload and pays better.
